Home with my Zinnias

Hey there my blogger friends, I know it's been awhile.  I've been so busy with work, travel and a little vacation.  In the next couple of weeks I'll post some of the paintings I did on my travels - just have some finishing touches. 

This is the first cutting of Zinnias from my garden - love painting these too.  And they look so pretty in a beautiful terracotta pitcher I bought in Spain this past month.  I'll tell you more about that later. But for now just glad to be home.  This is what I do once I get home after I've been away for a bit.

1. Hug and kiss Baby Kitty until she howls and wishes I would leave again.

2. Cut flowers from my garden.

3. Thank God that my home is still standing when I get back.

4. Wish I had cut the grass before I left.

5. Go see Kennedy to see if she missed me - so far she hasn't noticed.

6. Make coffee and sit on my back porch.

7. Weed.

8. Paint the flowers I just cut for a vase.
